Showroom staff and in-store advisors get steady praise for being knowledgeable and helpful. Many customers report cushions failing early, with stuffing problems and fabric faults after limited use. Delivery issues, missing parts, and slow or dismissive support after purchase come up often. Reviews draw a clear line between a strong buying visit and mixed long-term ownership.
Examples from available reviews (Dec 2021 – Mar 2026).
Helpful staff both in store and over the phone.
“really helpful staff both at the store we visited and on the phone @sofa .com”
Staff member Devanshi provided exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable service.

“the sofa and footstool cushions were sagging so badly they looked 10 years old.”
Delivery damaged sofa and customer service handled complaints poorly.
“They simply HUNG UP ON ME.”
Many reviewers highlight in-store teams for quick, informed help and solid follow-up. Problems show up more around delivery and aftercare, with repeated mentions of missing parts, slow replacements, and dismissive replies. Service feedback splits by stage: buying support gets praise, while post-delivery help draws frequent criticism.
Several reviewers call the sofas excellent quality and worth the wait. Others point to fast cushion wear and fabric faults that make the price feel less justified. A few also flag extra cost issues, including an additional quoted delivery charge.
Showroom visits often come across as friendly, patient, and well organised, with staff helping on measurements and fabric choices. Multiple customers describe both online and in-store buying as straightforward and hassle-free. Complaints about order delays and incomplete deliveries appear mostly after purchase, not in showroom feedback.
Several reviews mention cushions sagging, seats feeling under-stuffed, feathers poking through, and staples showing in the fabric soon after delivery. Other customers report excellent build quality and comfortable seating, creating a clear split in experiences. In complaints about early failures, people describe warranty cover and quick fixes as lacking.
Some customers praise clear explanations in the showroom about size, fabric, and pricing. A smaller group describes repeated emails before production, delays with no explanation, and poor responsiveness. Updates on order progress come up less often and vary widely.
Buying experiences skew positive, helped by attentive showroom staff and supportive sales guidance. After purchase, reviews more often mention operational slip-ups and product faults, leading to strong dissatisfaction in the affected cases. Overall, the reviews show a sharp gap between early satisfaction and longer-term ownership.

We were looking at replacing some of the chairs in our living room. It generally so easy to get the full set perfect. But when it comes to buying chairs to match existing furniture and decor, it is always a big challenge. sofa.com made our job easy. It gave options to make choice of the features we are looking for in the furniture which saved us a lot of time. The chairs we brought home are quite comfortable and nicely gels with the set up. This time our requirement was simple. I would soon check the entire offering and consider them for future purchases.
